The 11 goats are the first line of defense to save New Jersey's historic Fort Hancock from a poison ivy invasion. The Sandy Hook Foundation is paying Larry Cihanek of Rhinebeck, N.Y., about $12,000 to use about two dozen goats to clear the site to make it more accessible to the public. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
